he would tell them 10 stay away,
aud he would sell more white goods.
Why, eveery week there are people
who 20 to st. Louis who are not
wanted there. People so there who
are dreaded by their own relatives.
People go thero without invitations
even, and stay for weeks. With the
invitation he has, the President ol
tho United states could stay all win
ter, ard go to Shaw's gardens every
day. Why, dearly beloved, tue dy~
ing thief went to heaven and didn'I
make half 30 much fuss about it os
tho President Of the United States
does about going to st. Louis,
which is ouly q way station on the
line.
We are. however, really glad the
President Of the United States il
going 60 st. Louis. That repetition
is n little tisesome, aud if 40 were
writing about the first President of
the United States we would simply
shy Washington. But the present
President of the United States is
very sensitive, aud complains that be
i not treated as tho President Of the
United States should be, and we arc
anxious ,o Lumur him lest he should
once more take offeuso and say that
be wouldn't 60 20 st Lpuls. W,
want the President of the United
States to 20 to st. Louis that b,
nay SEQ how low many other peopl,
go there. Wo hope ho will stauo
nrouud down at the Union depot
NC ASSURE him the depot was not $,
named in honor OF the G.. A. Il ht
may stand there all day and not los,
a pound OF Presidential dignity
and sec the people como in, withou
Invitations. We hopc, for tho SAX,
Of rewarding the JrtflrsoniHn sim.

President of the United States wi!

could 90 to Knob Knoster, so tha
be could see which was the Knoll
aud Nbiah WAS the Knoster, itwcnl,
be great medicine for tho Presiden
of tho Uuited States. He woult
then have travelled and would know
moro than the President Of the
! United States does now. Not muo|
mole, perhaps, but some. Travel
even though one only goes TO ~
Louis aud Knob Knoster, brOiden

IF discourage hin. Remember that
@, thoughtless word uttered by son
